The Company completed the acquisition of Western Sierra Bancorp on June 2, 2006, in an all stock exchange valued at approximately $354 million. Approximately 12.7 million shares of common stock were issued in connection with the acquisition. This acquisition was accretive to operating earnings by $0.01 per diluted share during the second quarter, based mainly on accelerated synergy realization. Full system integration was completed successfully over the July 15th weekend.

"With these stores now under the Umpqua brand, all associates immersed in the Umpqua culture, and our marketing efforts now launched in one of the fastest growing markets in the country, we remain well positioned to sustain our organic growth," said Ray Davis, president and chief executive officer of Umpqua Holdings Corporation.

Total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2006 were $7.2 billion, compared to $5.0 billion a year ago. Total gross loans and leases, and deposits, were $5.3 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2006, compared to $3.6 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, a year ago.

The following table presents the year-to-date annualized organic growth rates, which exclude the effects of the Western Sierra Bancorp acquisition:

Annualized organic growth rate 19% 8% 12%

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company had net charge-offs of $0.1 million, or 0.01% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis. Non- performing loans and leases were $7.3 million at June 30, 2006, representing only 0.14% of total loans and leases. This represents a decline from 0.19% in non-performing loans and leases on a sequential quarter basis before the acquisition of Western Sierra Bancorp. Based on the quality of the loan portfolio and net recoveries for the year to date, there was no substantial provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2006, compared to $1.4 million for the same period a year ago. The allowance for credit losses was 1.14% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2006.

Umpqua Bank, Umpqua Holdings' Bank subsidiary, reported a net interest margin of 4.93% for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 4.95% for first quarter of 2006 and 5.05% for the same quarter a year ago. The decline in margin resulted from increases in short-term market interest rates, which led to an increase in deposit and borrowing costs. The yield on earning assets increased 26 basis points on a sequential quarter basis to 7.22%, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 33 basis points to 3.27%.

Excluding merger expense, the Bank efficiency ratio was 51.8% for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 52.7% for the same period a year ago.

As of June 30, 2006, total shareholders' equity was $1.1 billion, and tangible book value per share was $7.46. As previously announced, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share on July 14, 2006.

These statements are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty and actual results could differ materially due to certain risk factors, including those set forth from time to time in Umpqua's and Western Sierra's filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Umpqua believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding Umpqua's financial performance. Umpqua provides measures based on "operating earnings," which exclude merger-related expenses. Operating earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing operating earnings by the same diluted share total used in determining diluted earnings per share.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP equivalent is included in the attached financial tables or where the non-GAAP measure is presented.
